Cynosports 2013

Cynosports experience 2013

Murfreesborough, Tennessee

 

The dogs and I went to Tennessee for the 2013 Cynosports World Games! What a blast we had.

The goal was to give Pace, my 2 1/2 year old a good experience at a national event with no pressure. There were over 1100 dogs entered! It was Bug's last year in the Championship division jumping 22".

 

We met our goals and had a blast. This time at nationals, I don't wish I could have "another run" in any of my classes! I am happy with each and every run we had.

 

Here is a video of our adventures

Don't Fall into Winter unprepared!!

Heading into Fall workshops

 

Saturday October 19 , 2013

Location Training room at Pieper-Olson Vet in Middletown, CT

 

Getting to know your dog

This workshop is geared towards active/sporting dogs but can be implemented towards any dog.

Learn how to recognize the signs when your dog is injured. Signs can often times be very subtle. You know something is wrong but you just can't put your finger on it. First you have to know what your dog feels like when they are not injured.

*This is not a workshop to diagnose a problem that is going on now but rather teach you how to evaluate your own dog on a daily to weekly basis.

 

This is an interactive workshop for you and your dog

Canine Conditioning

Going into winter, sometimes it's tough to get outside to exercise your dogs because of the darkness, cold or weather. This workshop is great for keeping your dog fit, stronger and great for giving them something constructive to do with their active brains. Exercises you can do with your dog in your living room! It's also great for bonding time with your furry friend. This workshop is great for puppies, adults and geriatric dog.
